hi everybody, i am looking for a school to attend during the summer.

intense and really worth it, any scholarship would be
wonderful as well. im sure this question has been posted before, but
i havent seen it …thanks a lot… molly epstein

Arrowmont has a work study program for students in the summer and of

credit and study with varied talented instructors. The students become

craft schools such as Penland can be found as advertisements in
Metalsmith and Ornament.

Hi Molly; I would suggest you look into the Penland School in
Ashville, NC, (828-765-2359) or Appalachian Center for Crafts in
Smithville, TN (615-597-6801), as these will be beautiful places to

possibly give you (630-579-3272 - thier business office
number, but they might refer you to better editors,
perhaps). Please check out these sites too, they are of some of our
Orchid participants and are exemplary sources of
